Ride 18/07/2020

So today I decided to ride to Stepps, just outside Glasgow, I did think about going into Glasgow but this would mean a 100 miles bike ride and I’m not ready for that just yet and it was hard enough just to do the 80 miles. I would be riding the first 40 miles against a robust headwind that is to say I hated it! It may only be around the 15-16 mph head wind but that knocks the shite out of me and I was tired by the time I got to Stepps with my legs aching something rotten. Thank God I had a tail wind going home otherwise I would have been in deep dodo. It’s not a particularly hilly ride but I still managed to clock up over 3000 feet of climbing which starts to accumulate against what energy reserves I had left. Anyway by the time I got home I was knackered but had clocked up 81 miles at an avg speed of 15 mph so I’ll live with that
